Duindorp: fishing village feel within walking distance of the sea

Duindorp is not your average Hague neighbourhood. The area originated as a fishing village and you can still feel it: narrow streets, low terraced houses, a close-knit community and an atmosphere that feels more like a village than a big city. That is exactly what many residents appreciate. On the neighbourhood page of Duindorp, residents give the neighbourhood an 8.1 out of 10, based on resident experiences. Accessibility scores notably high with a perfect 10, and community spirit is also rated a 9. The latter is not an exaggeration: in Duindorp, people still know each other. There are active neighbourhood associations and the annual Duindorp events bring residents together.

Safety scores a 7, which is slightly lower than the other categories. Residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet, but indicate that there can sometimes be nuisance in certain parts of the area in the evenings. Those looking for a lively, urban environment are probably less at home here. But those looking for peace, a sense of community and a green living environment close to Scheveningen beach will find something in Duindorp that you won't find in many other Hague neighbourhoods. The nearby neighbourhood of Oostduinen offers a similar green atmosphere for those who also want to look in that direction.

Facilities are present but modest. There are primary schools, a GP and small shops in the area, but for a larger range of shops or hospitality you will need to go to Scheveningen or the centre of The Hague. The municipality of The Hague provides up-to-date information about facilities and municipal services in the neighbourhood via denhaag.nl. Those looking for more space and greenery in a similar coastal atmosphere can also take a look at Westbroekpark en Duttendel or the slightly more upmarket Belgisch Park.
